wise man

Long after Chen Qifeng left, Chen Shoushi was still in a state of ecstasy. Yang Zhen saw his tired face, so she gently massaged his temples, shoulders and neck.

The room was quiet until Rui Zhu's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, the little Highness has come."

Chen Shoushi regained his composure and said, "Let him in."

Before the words were finished, a small figure rushed in, threw itself into Chen Shoushi's arms, and sobbed, "Uncle, uncle..."

Yang Zhen stopped, squatted down, stroked Ji Ye's back, and coaxed softly, "Your Highness, don't be sad."

Chen Shoushi hugged Ji Ye distressedly, and wiped away his tears.The child couldn't stop crying, big tears fell down, eyes and nose were all red.

Chen Shoushi had no choice but to let him cry, and when he had cried enough, he asked the maid to bring a hot cloth to wipe his face clean.

Ji Ye put his arms around his neck, buried his face in his chest, and said in a nasal voice: "Uncle, the father is gone, and Ye'er has no father."

Chen Shoushi stroked his hair and said softly, "Uncle will love you like his own child."

One sentence drew Ji Ye's tears again, the child raised his head and looked at him eagerly: "Uncle, would you like to be Ye'er's father?"

Chen Shoushi smiled wryly, this child, his father's bones are not yet cold, but he is in a hurry to recognize someone else as his father, the child is a child after all.

"This matter is up to Grandpa Huang, Grandma Huang and your concubine mother, Ye'er, don't talk nonsense."

Ji Ye nodded: "Ye'er understands."

Chen Shoushi didn't know what he understood, and asked, "Is your concubine okay?"

Ji Ye said: "She's fine, she just keeps watch every day, or visits Grandma Huang."

Chen Shoushi said: "Grandpa Huang is ill, did Ye'er visit him?"

Ji Ye shook his head: "Not yet."

"Then uncle will take you there."

"it is good."

"Don't cry when you see Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang's body cannot withstand stimulation."

"Yes, Ye'er understands."

Chen Shoushi took Ji Ye to Yanqing Palace, and the two young eunuchs brought by Bo Ling and Ji Ye followed.Yang Zhen came to the outer room and asked Rui Zhu, Lu Zhu and Guo Bei: "Do you know where the palace maids and eunuchs who followed the prince to Dingxiang Villa are now?"

The eyes of Rui Zhu and Lu Zhu are bright.Ruizhu said: "Young Master asked about them, did His Highness want to save them?" Luzhu said: "They were imprisoned in Yongxiang. They are so miserable, and one of them, Luzhi, is a friend of a servant. If His Highness can save them They'll be fine."

Guo Bei also said: "They are only going to serve the prince, it's not their fault who calls the prince like that..."

Yang Zhen said: "Your Majesty just went to see His Majesty to intercede for them."

"Your Highness is so kind, you are truly a living Bodhisattva." All three of them beamed with joy.

Yang Zhen said, "Can you spread a message for me?"

"What news? Please tell me, my lord."

Yang Zhen whispered a few words, seeing the puzzled look of the three of them, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is the effect that the second young master wants."

The three of them agreed.

Not long after, Empress Liu got the letter, knowing that Chen Qifeng was going to Xinhe Palace to meet Chen Shoushi, and printed it with a slap.Princess Feng Yu was beside her, Empress Liu said to Feng Yu: "Your future son-in-law is too weak, he is always bullied by Chen Shoushi."

Feng Yu was born petite and exquisite, a 17-year-old girl, with a bit of childishness in her brows, she heard this and said: "Second brother is not a narrow-minded person, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding between the two of you."

Empress Liu's eyes were filled with anger: "Second brother? You can speak smoothly. You only have one brother, and he is no longer alive! What is Chen Shoushi? He is also worthy to be your brother?"

Feng Yu pursed her lips: "Queen, second brother... the eldest cousin did nothing wrong, it was the father who wanted to make him a prince. The eldest cousin usually respects you very much, why do you hate me so much?" he?"

Empress Liu gritted her teeth resentfully, but did not continue, and changed the subject, "Yu'er, if it weren't for the fact that Qifeng is so filial to your elder brother, I would never agree to marry you." he."

"Mother, my daughter also likes my second cousin."

"I know." Empress Liu touched Feng Yu's face, "You are my most beloved daughter, whatever you want, the queen mother will agree to you." When she said this, her eyes turned red, "Your brother is no longer here , I will only have you in the future."

"Mother, please don't say that." Feng Yu's eyes were also moist, "You still have sister-in-law, Ye'er, uncle, and..."

Empress Liu shook her head: "Stop talking." After a pause, she said, "I feel much better, you can go out with me for a walk."

"Yes, mother."

In Yanqing Palace, Ji Tai took Ji Ye's hand and said in a soft voice: "Ye'er, your uncle will not go to Changzhou County from now on, and has been living in the palace. You can study and practice martial arts with him."

Ji Ye said: "Did the grandpa leave uncle behind?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang."

"Ye'er, are you willing to be your uncle's adopted son?"

"Ye'er is willing."

Ji Tai nodded in relief, feeling that the breath in his chest was much smoother.

Chen Shoushi said: "Father wants Ye'er to be my minister's adopted son. I'm afraid I have to discuss it with the Empress and the Crown Princess? Father, you put your son on the point of the gun, and you are afraid that the gun will not be good." He took The expression of the wry smile and the tone of the voice were a bit coquettish, which pleased Ji Tai, and Ji Tai looked at him with doting eyes rarely, and said: "You child."

Xu Zhi suddenly felt sore in his heart, these two people are like real father and son!Whether it's the previous wringing, or Chen Shoushi's occasional softness, the intimacy between the two is real.

"No one dares to object to what I have decided." The sick man began to be domineering again.

Chen Shoushi knelt down and said, "Could my father promise my son one thing?"

"what?"

"My son heard that the maid and eunuch who served the prince to go to Dingxiang Villa will be buried for the prince. The father is kind, how can you allow such a thing to happen in the palace?"

Ji Tai was taken aback: "Is this the queen's idea?"

"Yes."

Ji Tai's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "She vented her anger on them, I understand, I will send an order to release them immediately."

"Thank you, Father, Father is holy."

Ji Tai sighed: "The bargaining chips you exchanged with me are getting smaller and smaller. In the past, you agreed to my request for Boy Yang, but today it is for a few court ladies and eunuchs."

"No." Chen Shoushi said hastily, "My minister already likes Ye'er. My father has orders, so how dare I refuse to obey? Pleading for court ladies and eunuchs is another matter. From now on, my minister will never disobey my father again." I really feel sorry for the emperor.

Tears welled up in Ji Tai's eyes, he turned his head to hide his appearance: "Xu Zhi, go and deliver the order. Shi'er, you and Ye'er should step back, let me rest."

That night, Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen returned to the Duke's residence, and Bo Ling and Xiao Ba accompanied them.

Chen Jingting and Ruohua knew that the emperor recognized Yang Zhen as Chen Shoushi's only wife, so they knew it.Once the crown prince died, the crown prince's position would be vacant. As the only remaining prince, if he married a man and was the only one, he would naturally have no heirs and would not pose a threat to Ji Ye.

Chen Jingting's heart is full of emotions, Ji Tai is still Ji Tai, and he will always put his country first.However, deep in his heart, he felt a sense of relief. Seeing Yang Zhen get his wish, it seemed that his own soul had been redeemed.

He is very kind to Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen seized an opportunity and quietly called Chen Qifeng out. When he went to a secluded place, he told Chen Qifeng that he had asked the maid to spread the news in the afternoon, and said to him: "The young master has returned to the palace, and he will be by Your Majesty's side from now on. Since His Majesty relies heavily on him, the Empress must hate him even more, and I am always worried that the Eldest Young Master will be unsafe. So, will Second Brother continue to wrong me and become the Eldest Young Master's eyes and ears?"

Chen Qifeng was the same age as Yang Zhen, both eighteen, and two months older than Yang Zhen, but at this time he was a younger brother, and he respected his sister-in-law very much, and replied with a smile: "That's exactly what I mean, sister-in-law, please don't worry. "

"Second brother, the Eldest Young Master is too upright. He didn't understand for a moment and hit you, so please don't blame him. I will accompany you on his behalf." Yang Zhen said, bowing solemnly.

Chen Qifeng hastened to support him and said: "Sister-in-law, you are too serious, my younger brother can't afford it."

At this time, someone behind him said: "What are you two doing sneaking around?" It was Chen Shoushi.

Yang Zhen turned her head and saw his displeased face, so she could only make amends and say, "I'm just chatting with my second brother, husband, what's your order?"

Chen Shoushi stretched out his arms, and tapped lightly on his head: "Don't mess with me, let's go and have dinner."

Yang Zhen said silently: "What a tyrant." Obediently followed him away.

Looking at his elder brother's appearance, Chen Qifeng suddenly felt that his elder brother had become cute, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

The next day, when Ji Tai's health improved slightly, he went to court and ordered Chen Shoushi to go too.

He issued an imperial decree, giving Chen Shoushi the surname of the country, changing his name to Ji Fengshi, and adopting the emperor's grandson Ji Ye to him.He also bestowed on Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen to marry each other, and after Chen Shoushi kept his elder brother's filial piety for a hundred days, the Ministry of Rites would choose a day for the second prince to get married.

Manchu was shocked.Although everyone understood the emperor's intentions, but Yang Zhen was a slave after all, and the emperor personally bestowed a marriage to the prince, which was unheard of and unprecedented.

But looking at the sick emperor, no one dared to raise any objections.

Prime Minister Miao Yongpei even praised Chen Shoushi as a model for his single-mindedness.

Naturally, this matter quickly spread in Beijing, those ladies and ladies who admired Chen Shoushi, I don't know how many people cried secretly, and were unwilling.Because they were defeated by a man whose status was so humble.

At this time, Yang Zhen had already returned to Changzhou County to take office.Bo Ling and Xiao Ba were ordered to follow him. Butler Qin, the fat cook and Zhu Zi originally wanted to call Yang Zhen "Young Madam", but Yang Zhen sounded awkward, so in the end everyone had to compromise and call him Sir.

Yang Zhen had mixed feelings in her heart.Back then, when I traveled here and saw his wise and handsome lord, my whole heart fell on him. Now that I have become an adult, that person has become His Highness.Life is really changing.

Hu Di was also awkward, he was used to being called Brother Yang, even when Yang Zhen became the magistrate, he would call him Brother Yang, but now he could only call him an adult.But he was very happy for Yang Zhen. After all, Yang Zhen not only got promoted, but also became Chen Shoushi's wife.

Yang Zhen, as the secretary of the county magistrate in modern times, is very familiar with all the lines. Although he has never operated it himself, he can understand by analogy.At first, I was worried that I was not brave enough, but it turned out that the power of love is great. With the care and encouragement of that person in Jingli, his ability erupted like a small volcano, which made everyone in the county shine.

He was busy every day, and only when the night was quiet would he miss the person in the palace.

And Chen Shoushi is also busy, working hard for state affairs.Since Ji Tai got sick last time, her physical condition is obviously not as good as before.

After the queen recovered from her illness, she became lively again, and she really made a fuss for a while because of Ji Ye's adoption to Chen Shoushi.She didn't calm down until Ji Ye's grandfather Zhou Haizheng, a scholar of the Wenhua Pavilion, as well as the Crown Princess, Princess Fengyu, and Chen Qifeng all persuaded him to calm down.

But behind the scenes, she was planning a conspiracy, and only Uncle Liu Guo knew about it.

With amazing talent and ability, Chen Shoushi quickly took control of the government and took over most of the affairs for Ji Tai.All the officials in the court respected and admired him, and even many people from the original prince-party quietly moved to his camp.

In addition to state affairs, he also has to teach Ji Ye, and the relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper.

"Daddy, Daddy, when will Uncle Hazel come back? Ye'er misses him." The child tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked him eagerly.

That's right, time flies so fast, summer has passed and autumn has come, and the two haven't seen each other for more than two months.

"Zhen'er and my wife: return as soon as you see the letter, so as to relieve the pain of lovesickness." This person wrote the letter so "without shame", and recalled him back to Beijing.
